SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE
'An intense, succulent read that's intermittently dazzling' — THE TIMES
'Chilling, exquisitely moving' — DAILY TELEGRAPH
'A superb memoir - and one of the best books on addiction I have ever read' — EVENING STANDARD
A. A. Gill's memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers. He is an alcoholic, dying in the last-chance saloon. He tells the truth — as far as he can remember it — about drinking and about what it is like to be drunk.
He recalls:
- The lost days
- Lost friends
- Failed marriages
But there was also an 'optimum inebriation, a time when it was all golden.'
With sobriety regained, the memoir offers:
- Painterly descriptions of people and places
- Unforgettable musings about childhood and family, art and religion
- Moving reflections on the connections between his cooking, dyslexia, and his missing brother
Full of raw and unvarnished truths, exquisitely written throughout, POUR ME is about lost time and self-discovery. Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic tale of drunken abandon.
